Five days until Checkin/Inspection day. 
I encourage all 2026 UM and EC challengers, veterans and newbies alike, to revisit the website and reread the information about your event. Especially the “ALL Events - Must Read, Understand, and Agree” section on the right in the link for your event. Topics include:
Warning
Rules
Special Launch Rules
Boat Classes
Reefing Rules
Required Equipment
SPOT Setup and Usage
inReach Setup
WaterTribe Entrance Requirements
WaterTribe Skill Assessments
How to Setup A Lifejacket
Packing Lite
Packing for Seaworthiness
Also, please review the CP links for information and pics of each CP.
Have you printed and completed the three forms required for you to turn in at checkin on Friday (WaterTribe Waiver, Float Plan for your event, ACA Waiver)? They are available under “Get Them Now” at the top of your event page. There will be a minimal number of extra forms available, so please print each form on one piece of paper, complete and have all three with you when you get in line.
